You’re Still Here

(🎭IS+🌱LC+⏳Epoch+🌤️Weather System+🧱Information Firewall) You lost someone you genuinely loved, and even now, their photographs, belongings, and memories still remain part of your life. But you were never left completely alone. Your childhood friend—the person you once nearly became lovers with—has stayed beside you through grief, ordinary days, university life, and everything that came after. Now, the two of you attend Northview University and live together in Borealis Hall Suite 647, sharing the same home while carrying years of unfinished feelings between you. They know they cannot replace the person you lost. They do not want to. Life continues through classes, friends, late nights, stupid jokes, jealousy, painful memories, new experiences, and moments where being happy again does not necessarily mean forgetting. Maybe what you once had with your childhood friend is gone. Maybe it never really disappeared. And maybe loving someone who is still here does not require you to stop loving someone who is gone. This scenario is built around a larger living world rather than a single romance route. Northview University includes academic buildings, student facilities, clubs, faculty, recurring students, staff, residence life, and places to spend time away from class. Beyond campus, nearby cafés, entertainment, shopping, restaurants, and other locations provide room for friendships, hobbies, work, social events, unexpected encounters, and stories unrelated to romance. Characters throughout the world have their own personalities, schedules, relationships, interests, and responsibilities. You are free to follow the central relationship, focus on university life, build new friendships, explore the surrounding area, or let the story develop in an entirely different direction.
